Ascension of Our Lord was a Catholic parish in Evanston, Illinois, founded in 1912 by a community of relatively recent Polish immigrants.
This community lived in an area of Evanston whose borders were approximately Dodge Avenue to the west, Main Street to the south, Dempster Street to the north, and Asbury to the east.

This Jubilee Book combines a narrative and pictorial history of the parish and testimonials from Catholic Church officials and area businesses.
Included among the photographs are pictures of 24 of the 8th grade graduating classes of the parish school (1921, 1923, 1927-1940, 1944, 1955-1956, and 1958-1962). Also included are photographs of all students in grades 1-8 enrolled in 1962. The complete text is indexed and searchable via Adobe Acrobat.
